Experiemental Theatre

By: New World Performance Lab

Show Description:“Industrial Valley” is an ensemble-devised theatre performance based on one-time Beacon Journal reporter Ruth McKenney’s
acclaimed 1939 account of class and industrial conflict in Akron, Ohio.
NWPL, under the direction of co-artistic director and University of
Akron theatre professor James Slowiak, brings to life
Depression-era Akron and the labor movement. Malcolm Cowley called
McKenney’s historical novel “the best American example of proletarian
literature.”
